Regin, in my opinion, isn't worth as much at this stage of his career, which would suggest that he shouldn't get any more than about $1.75M TOPS.An interesting comparable today, with Andrew Ladd settling on a one-year, $2.35M contract with Atlanta.

You were the only one to report it early in the week unlike some of these other so-called expert sites that only focus on the Sens. Whereas you guys focus on over 100 teams. Nice work once again.Well Kev, you were right on the here on the Regin thing. Murray stating today they are far apart.

Guess Eli Wilson wasn't getting the job done? Or maybe he'll rejoin Ray Emery in Philly... Who knows?Here’s a tidbit for Sens Nation – Rick Wamsley has been brought in to be the new goaltending coach. Guess Eli Wilson wasn’t getting the job done?

Dan RakusanTue, 27 Jul 2010 15:07:52 +0000http://prosportsblogging.com/?p=11708#comment-7580I personally think Regin should sign a one or two-year deal at about $1.75M per season and PROVE he's worth the money his camp is asking for. Even that is a bit of an over-payment, but that's the way of things these days it seems. If Regin lives up to potential, once this short-term deal is done, he'll be worth possibly double of what he's asking for now, and will recoup any "hometown discount" he signs for this time around.
Players need to realize that in order to have a chance at the Cup, they need to consider the team's financial picture, not only their own. If you handcuff a team with a high cap hit, they can't sign the complementary players needed to go deep in the playoffs, and thus you're really only playing for a pay cheque, not championships.I personally think Regin should sign a one or two-year deal at about $1.75M per season and PROVE he’s worth the money his camp is asking for.

Just because he played on the top six for a while, he thinks he's worth that much. His salary should be in Foligno's range until he proves himself.
In the math world of a "successful" GM, potential alone does not equal big salary.
On the other hand, given how nuts some GMs are, I'm surprised that some team hasn't given Regin an offer sheet.
Teams are having cap troubles because GMs are giving crazy money to players who get hot for a couple of months.Incredible… Regin’s 13 goals last year equals $2.5 million???
